An experimental study of the one Atmosphere Diving Suit (ADS) and data analysis of military diving
The Atmospheric Diving Suit (ADS) is a one-man submarine with moveable, humanlike appendages with internal pressure maintained at one atmosphere. This precludes the possibility of common diving related illnesses while giving the operator an increased depth of operation compared to traditional …

Diver Motivations in Selecting a Diving Destination
… organization when exploring a target market for diving promotion. In addition to strategically marketing to established divers based on the study results, expanding their focus to this overlooked group would contribute to the growth of the industry by increasing the number of divers, improving …

Immersive scuba diving simulator using virtual reality
… Amphibian, a simulator to experience scuba diving virtually in a terrestrial setting. Amphibian is novel because it simulates a wider variety of sensations experienced underwater compared with to existing diving simulators that mostly focus on visual and aural displays. Users rest their …

The behavioural physiology of diving animals, in particular tufted ducks (Aythya fuligula), and the implications for models of optimal diving
… data were combined with power cost estimates of diving to show that the optimal breathing model quantitatively predicted surface duration and the oxygen metabolised during foraging for the mean of all subject ducks but not for individual birds. Respirometry data also showed that both the oxygen …

Fluid mechanics of bubble capture by the diving bell spider
The water spider, a unique member of its species, is used as inspiration for a bubble capture mechanism. Bubble mechanics are studied in the pursuit of a biomimetic solution for transporting air bubbles underwater. Careful experimentation is performed to understand the mechanics of bubble formation …

Characteristics of Wetlands Used by Breeding Diving Ducks in Eastern South Dakota
… to determine the distribution and habitats of diving ducks in eastern South Dakota. Redheads (Aythya americana) and ruddy ducks (Oxyurajamaicensis) were the primary breeding species of diving ducks in eastern South Dakota in 1995 and 1996. Canvasback (Aythya valisineria) and lesser scaup …

Lipid studies in breath-hold diving mammals and obese, pre-diabetic mice.
… Marine mammal species were compared based on diving ability. Shallower divers (harbor seals, Phoca vitulina) demonstrated significantly higher C16 ceramide, 16:0 sphingomyelin, and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) levels compared to deeper divers (Weddell seals, Leptonychotes weddellii). …

Comparison of two methods for sampling invertebrates on submerged vertical walls with diving
… submerged vertical areas and bottoms while scuba diving were made in Silfra, a freshwater fissure in Þingvellir National Park, southwest Iceland. A modified Surber sampler and a constructed manual suction pump sampling system were used to take 20 samples at two depths at a chosen transect in the …

Recreational Diving and Hawksbill Sea Turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) in a Marine Protected Area
<p>Recreational diving is a form of ecotourism that is traditionally viewed as an ecologically sustainable activity prompting increased awareness for the marine environment. Recent studies, however, indicate that recreational diving may cause unintended behavioral changes in marine macrofauna. Few …

An experimental study of the human interface with one atmosphere diving suit by appendages
… study of the human interface with an Atmospheric Diving Suit (ADS) develops a method for quantitatively evaluating how the pilot interacts with the suit's appendages to inform design improvements and to provide a baseline of joint performance for existing technologies. An Atmospheric Diving Suit …

White shark cage diving in South Africa: a critical assessment of South Africa's regulatory framework
'White Shark Cage Diving' (WSCD) enables tourists to experience a face-to-face encounter with wild sharks in the open water. In order to attract the animals close to the cages, tour operators often use chum, bait, or decoys, which interferes with the natural habits of marine wildlife. These …

Engineering a human Factors analysis of a novel one Atmosphere Diving Suit (ADS) elbow joint
An Atmospheric Diving Suit (ADS) is a one person anthropomorphic submersible which is used to facilitate undersea work while keeping the diver/operator at atmospheric pressure thus removing them from the harmful physiological effects associated with diving at depths. Most ADS in use today have …

Diving: using fiction narrative and intermedial assemblage to understand family histories in colonial India between 1933-1947
… in India between 1933-47. My research practice, Diving, presents a series of multimedia assemblages, which recount a fictional story viewed from multiple perspectives and are played out by different dramatic characters, informed and inferred from scholarly research on domestic servants and other …
